Days after their priest was arrested in the church rectory for possession of child pornography, parishioners at Our Lady of Czestochowa in South Boston arrived for evening Mass on Saturday expressing shock.
Many said they were troubled by the charges against the Rev. Andrzej J. Urbaniak who had been well-liked and two people left the church in tears. Others said they maintained confidence in him.
“I liked him,” said George Greenan, a 69-year-old Savin Hill resident who serves as head usher on Saturdays. “A lot of people are upset about it — I’m upset about it — but it could happen at any church.”
Urbaniak was arrested Tuesday and charged with possessing and distributing child pornography. Authorities said he confessed to downloading and sharing pornographic pictures of children, most of whom appeared to be between the ages of 8 and 10.
